TL Door Sills
I should have the TL door sill sample in about a week or so.
They will be availble with engraving, with Acura TL or Acura TL type S (type S logo) or blank, all in set of 4
As soon as I get them in and test fit them, I will post a picture.
For those that want to pre-order, I have added them to the site.
They are on the Accessories Page Above
These will not be listed in the MVC forum at a discount, because the price they are being sold at, is the actual cost.
And the brushed aluminum trim kits should be ready soon as well
Also want to say a special thanks to Austin, it is because of him, that the sills are available.

I'm #2 on the list. Looks like at least 2 will be displayed at the PAA Meet in May.

what I said?"A lot of the detail was workout between austin and the company."
Austin found the company and started the whole sills product. But no he did not design it. It was more of a copy from the Inspire Sills made by Honda and sold in Japan.
, and Tim sent in the Type S logo to the company etc

J/KI thought you didn't read, this happens many many times, so I just asume you didn't. I did not respond to as if you were a child, all I did was explain in way I thought you would understand better

He also really doesn't approve of the sills over here...although snook makes it sound like he's all cool with it and agrees. He's all mad over on A-CL.com. I don't see how this post violates any rules or upsets anyone...so please don't go deleting this one.

It is simillar to the inspire sills as for any door sill. Is pretty much a choice of font and style more than a new DESIGN. If they were very different than the inspire sills, then I would give them all the credit, but in my opinion is pretty much a whatever. Anyways people like the inspire sills, it wouldn't be smart to change it much.

And on the trim kits, I provided them with 3 different wood trim kits, so they could copy
And all these I will be stocking

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, the sills are the plastic part that runs along the bottom of the door, visible when its opened? correct? How are they installed? They sound very interesting. While I have seen several posts in the last few months about the sills, I have also noticed a little "controversy" surrounding the R&D. Which I personally know nothing about so I won't judge. I have purchased more then 1 or 2 items from this site, I have found the price to be far better then local dealers, and the service was top notch. Although the knowledge I have gained through reading other members post has been the most valuable part of this site. I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope none of this has affected the final product. And everyone should remember this site is a business here to make a profit, like any other business in America. While competition is good for the consumer, this site sells products to stay "afloat", while also providing a valuable service for its users.JUST MY .02$!$! But to heck with the politics, lets see some pics of those sills!

This sills are the same as tha inspire sills, but with different lettering. Like Acura TL (type S logo) etc. Maybe the acura logo on the rear sill or type S logo by it self.
Here is an example:
